Python raises a TypeError when setting a read only attribute. Eg:
Python 2.2a3+ (#13, Sep 25 2001, 11:06:31)
[GCC egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux (egcs-1.1.2 release)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> def f(): pass
...
>>> f.func_name = 'hello'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: readonly attribute
>>>
By the way, the python22-branch has replacements for everything I used
ExtensionClass for previously. Presently, it needs a recent CVS snapshot
of python 2.2 -- it won't compile with 2.2a3 due to a structure renaming,
but will work with 2.2a4 (which should be out soon).
Anyone have thoughts about merging the branch into HEAD?
James.
